- New 11 Passenger Midibus Order will Ship to Nigeria -

LISHUI, China, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tantech Holdings Ltd TANH ("Tantech" or the "Company"), today announced that its subsidiary, Shangchi Automobile Co., Ltd., won a new 6 vehicle order. The latest order for customized, high-end midibuses is expected to be delivered to the customer in Nigeria in July 2022.

Shangchi Automobile's fully customizable, diesel light midibuses feature a manual 5 speed transmission and all the luxuries of a high-end bus, including a fuel efficient, luxury travel experience with comfortable seating for 11 passengers. With an overall length of 6 meters, the vehicles have easy USB access charging ports, powerful air conditioning and heating, a state-of-the-art air purification system, and many enhanced safety features, including rear reverse radar, high mount brake lights, power windows, UV glass and LED lights, among other features.

Mr. Wangfeng Yan, Chief Executive Officer of Tantech, said, "Demand for our multi-passenger vehicles continues to grow led by multiple very strong catalysts, which include the reopening of the global economy, surging fuels costs and the desire to reduce harmful emissions. Our high efficiency midibuses check all the boxes and provide both the driver and passengers with a much more comfortable experience, while dramatically cutting harmful emissions that would have been caused if each passenger drove their own vehicle. Our team has been actively working with customers and our supply chain to secure the necessary components for the higher vehicle demand level. Longer term, our ability to effectively service the expected higher demand level will help broaden our addressable market and strengthen our global brand as we work to accelerate our revenue growth and drive a higher value for our shareholders."
